“One of the best and easiest ways to provide up-to-date staff development to administrators, teachers and paras ... when both time and money are short!”

Carol Blessing
Special Education Coordinator
Sheboygan Area School District, Wis.

"DirectSTEP® is a very cost-effective means for me to provide staff development activities to my special education staff without having to travel and do the 'sit and get' method. My staff can select modules that are relevant for them, so valuable staff training time isn't wasted. I have also recommended the DirectSTEP program to another district and they have since adopted the program. An excellent staff resource for our schools!"

Diane Knudsen
Director of Pupil Services
Eleva-Strum School District, Wis.
